Maria Doyle Kennedy Becomes an Amateur Sleuth in 'Recipes for Love and Murder' (Exclusive)

The mystery drama premieres Monday, Sept. 5 on Acorn TV with the first two episodes. When the local newspaper cuts her recipe column, Tannie Maria (Maria Doyle Kennedy) lobbies to take on the role of advice columnist. Things take an unexpected turn when a correspondent who writes to Maria about her abusive husband is found dead. Maria’s worlds collide as she begins working through her own mysterious past trying to solve the case. Maria joins forces with a local, risk-taking, rookie journalist, and sometimes rival, Jessie September (newcomer Kylie Fisher), to investigate the murder and catch the killer -- before the local police find more victims. But will they make too many enemies in the process and risk the perpetrator catching them first? Meanwhile, Maria comforts her readers by blending experiential advice with soothing recipes -- truly chicken soup for the soul.
